We have the 🪩🪩🪩, now all we need is you!!
I wanted to share a little about the organization we are raising funds for this year, Bithiah’s Family Services. Their story began in 2008 in Los Angeles and has since expanded to serve San Diego infants, children, and families impacted by foster care. Their San Diego is located right in Lake San Marcos but they serve all of San Diego County. Dyanna Sousa,
San Diego Program Director
Bithiah's Family Services, shared with me:

“Children enter foster care for three reasons; abuse, severe neglect, or prenatal drug exposure. In San Diego County, approximately 3,500 children in our community fall into these categories and need healing and support.

Bithiah’s Family Services walks alongside children from the moment they enter a new foster home, providing cost free, comprehensive support to every child with an open DCFS case. We provide play therapy, tutoring, essential supplies, formula, diapers, clothing, and shoes.

Most importantly, our kid-friendly food pantry allows children to choose their own food—giving them a sense of control at a time when so much of their lives feels out of their control.”

Dyanna started by volunteering with Bithiah’s House in Los Angeles and decided to move to San Diego to open the center to spread their reach farther. We are very proud to be helping her team help so many right in our backyard.

I will share an image of our sponsorship letter in the comments. We have 4 community members and businesses who have donated and we will talk about them soon! But we are working hard to beat our $10,200 donation in 2025, so please share if you know someone who would be interested in donating.

We appreciate you!!!

Yesterday at Ivey Ranch Park Association in Oceanside, we took on a garden plot of 3 foot tall stinging nettle weeds and we won! 💪🏼 (Barely!) The Association is in its 45th year of serving kids and adults with special needs with day programs, therapeutic riding and more as well as offering riding lessons to the public. The garden plots are available for the community to rent for $300 for the year and they free a source of income for the association. It’s a beautiful park!

It is with great pleasure that I write this post as we wrap up our 2025 San Elijo Women’s Club Charity Fundraiser. Next week we will present checks to Foundation for Women Warriors and to Single Mothers Student Success.

💥BECAUSE OF ALL WHO ATTENDED AND DONATED, WE ARE GIVING $8,100 TO EACH CHARITY!!! We raised $10,200 at the event and then the Fyfe Family donated $3,000 to each charity.

Our Board is a small group of passionate women dedicated to making a difference. I am very proud of the work we do and the joy we receive from being able to host this event and then give to those doing great work in our community.

💛BUT, most importantly, we could not give what we give without the extremely generous support of our community businesses, our community of supporters, our friends and family, the Arthur Q. Johnson Foundation who donated so we can hold the event at Henebery, the Fyfe Family and of course, Henebery Spirits for always making the evening happen.

We are thankful and grateful. We hope you were able to join us to hear from guests from the 2025 chosen charities. It is amazing to meet them, hear their stories and know the gratitude they feel for being chosen. If we didn’t see you this year, we sure hope you can make it in 2026!

Our Board member, Gwen Schvimmer, was interviewed about her experience as a Court Appointed Special Advocate with Voices for Children, an amazing organization that serves children in the foster system. Gwen is a dedicated CASA and because of her, we have learned more about this organization and were able to support them with donations from our 2024 charity fundraiser. They are now an organization, dear to our hearts. They are always looking for volunteers. Watch the clip and learn more about what a CASA does.
